Hate to enter an argument with folks that won't listen, but a friends son is an FBI agent and we have talked about privacy. They have access to everything local, state and federal without exception and have various departments that do various things. Number one is terrorism, always ongoing. Number two is drugs and the things that go with that. And on down a list. Tax evaders, cheats and all that is strictly IRS.BUT Terry is 100% correct. If they want info on anyone, an immediate file is started if there isn't one, the computer people (cyberforce) get it done, sometimes with the aid of lots of other groups. School records, police records, IRS data, anything ever purchased, purchased online, travel, history of movement, work history and if needed field agents are sent out to gather bits and pieces. He seemed quite proud of the fact that all this happens in record time. But again, there are priorities for problems and you have to be a real screw up to show up on the grid. In other words, they aren't worried. The government doesn't want you, the business world does. They are the people that buy and sell your info, keep track of your credit, buy from facebook, my space, anyplace you use a credit card. Ask Terry how many times AARP has already contacted him. Folks, it's not the government you need to worry about. I don't want to talk about our detector sponsors, BUT. So lighten up. Can your ID be stolen by a hacker? Why not, it's already been stolen by starbucks, sears, target, the list is kind of long.
, so you know.....Right!!!!
